Method for manufacturing electronic device, cover body, electronic device, electronic apparatus, and moving object

1. A method for manufacturing an electronic device, in which a base and a cover body are bonded together while forming an interior space for accommodating an electronic component between the base and the cover body, the method comprising: a step of preparing the cover body including a groove communicating the interior space with the outside, the groove being in a surface of the cover body on the side to be bonded with the base; a step of accommodating the electronic component in the interior space; a first bonding step of bonding the base and the cover body together by welding at an area for bonding the base and the cover body together except for an unwelded portion including a portion at which the base and the cover body are not welded due to the groove; and a second bonding step of bonding the base and the cover body together by energy beam welding at a portion of the area for bonding, the portion including an end of the groove on the outside side, to thereby close the groove.

2. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first bonding step is a step of performing the bonding by seam welding.

3. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the base and the cover body includes a metal layer, the metal layer having a thickness smaller than the depth of the groove, and in the first bonding step, the metal layer is melted by the seam welding to bond the base and the cover body together.

4. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the relation of L1>L2 is satisfied, where L1 is the width of the groove, and L2 is the depth of the groove.

5. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the outline of the cover body in plan view is a rectangular shape, and in the first bonding step, the seam welding is performed along each side of the cover body in plan view.

6. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 5 , wherein the groove is disposed at a side portion of the cover body in plan view.

7. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein using a plate-like cover body including a circumferential surface connecting a front surface with a back surface, the base and the cover body are bonded together through the first bonding step.

8. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein the groove has one of ends opened in the circumferential surface of the cover body and the other end disposed at a position facing the interior space, and the base and the cover body are bonded together through the first bonding step.

9. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 7 , wherein in the second bonding step, the base and the cover body are bonded by energy beam welding at a portion of the area for bonding, the portion including one of ends of the groove on the outside side.

10. The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising, after the first bonding step, a step of performing evacuation of the interior space through the groove, wherein the second bonding step is disposed after the step of performing the evacuation.
